Matt Turner's impressive list of award-winning compositions will just keep growing as he adds pieces like this to his repertoire! Zydeco Zephyr starts out with some boogie-woogie and then moves to a fiddling style in the second half. Not only can you hear the train within the music, but this work also includes an opportunity for a soloist to improvise. An example solo is provided, but this is a great way to get your kids to express themselves musically.Zydeco Zephyr combines elements of zydeco and bluegrass. Zydeco is a combination of many styles including Cajun, blues, and rock, and is known for its use of accordion, fiddle, and washboard. The first section of Zydeco Zephyr is influenced by doo-wop, a style zydeco musician Clifton Chenier used in his songs. The cellos introduce the second section with a “train†groove in m. 27. A solo section offers students the opportunity to improvise using a D mixolydian mode (D, E, F≥, G, A, B, C, D), and a sample solo is provided. This piece uses straighteighths (no swing!) and should be performed with a great deal of energy. Who knows, you may just make people in the audience get up and dance!Suggested listening: Clifton Chenier, King of the Bayous on Arhoolie Records.

Young string players do not get the opportunity to play Brahms often because much of his greatest music is written for piano and other works are too complex. But embedded in the fiery Rhapsody In B Minor (Op. 79, No. 1) is a beautiful interlude which takes on a form of its own. Simple melodies are passed among all instruments and harmonized in parallel 3rds and 6ths. Simple repeated 8th-note patterns with some ties create the undulating current in the accompaniment which drives the piece to its dynamic extremes. Duration 3:00. Available in SmartMusic.

Eine ganze Gemeinde die Geburt Christi feiern zu lassen und dabei die unterschiedlichen Fahigkeiten musikalischer und gestalterischer Art von Kindern, Jugendlichen und Erwachsenen zusammenzufassen und zur Geltung zu bringen, wurde dieses Stuck geschrieben und in den Jahren von 1946 bis 1954 jeweils am Heiligen Abend in der Kirche zu Ottowind bei Coburg aufgefuhrt. Die von Kindern getragene Spielhandlung, die eigentlich nur darin besteht, ein lebendes Krippenspiel aufzubauen, greift die Tradition der Christgeburtsspiele auf; die Besucher werden einbezogen durch den gemeinsamen Gesang von Weihnachtschoralen; die liturgische Bindung ist durch Schriftlesungen und Vertonungen von Bibeltexten gewahrt. [] Die vorliegende Ausgabe ist zugleich auch als ein weihnachtliches Sing- und Spielbuch gedacht, das im hauslichen Kreise ebenso wie in Schule oder Verein gute Dienste leisten wird.' (Franz Mockl) Fur Kinder ab 6 Jahren geeignet; der gemischte Chor und die Solo-Partien konnen mit Jugendlichen besetzt werden.

In Chopin‘s Greatest Melodies wurden die zwölf schönsten Mazurkas, Walzer und Nocturnes der Romantik zusammengetragen. In seinen wunderschönen Bearbeitungen der Stücke gelang es Johan Nijs, die romantische und melancholische Stimmung von Chopins Musik zu bewahren. Zur Unterstützung beim Üben und für Aufführungen können die Begleitungen auf der CD eingesetzt werden.
